Tapatio Tequila Blanco (750ml)

Unaged and bottled clear, this blanco tequila comes from Jalisco, Mexico, the heartland of agave distillation. Tapatio works in the highlands tradition of the region, and a blanco like this one skips barrel time entirely, going straight from distillation to the bottle so the character of the agave stays front and center.

Expect the bright, vegetal snap that defines the style, cooked agave with a peppery edge and a clean, lively finish. Blanco is the most straightforward way to taste what a tequila is made of, which makes this a natural choice for margaritas and palomas, though it holds up well enough to sip over a single cube if you want to pay closer attention.
